Recipe-

Start with Large Dry ORGANIC Sage Leaves – You can grow your own Sage- it’s a perennial – and is hardy to zone 5… if you purchase sage- be sure it washed and completely dry before starting the frying process.

Trim Large “Pretty” Leaves of of stems – for making the crisps

In a skillet or fry pan- melt 1 stick of butter on medium heat

J’s Tip -I prefer President Butter it’s an import from France and made famous by Julia Child in her Public Television show- the French Chef.

Place dry Sage leaves into the butter and fry on each side about 30 seconds to 1 minute- the crisps will turn a rich deep brown…

While the crisps are still warm- sprinkle with salt- I like to grind Pink Himalayan Salt – onto the chips- but you can use Kosher salt or regular salt – experiment with other ‘salts’… like Garlic, Onion or Pepper…

Once cool – serve immediately. Sage Crisps are much like Potato Chips- and a wonderful tasty tidbit.
